Exegesis

The nominal clause motza sefatay haya {מוֹצָא שְׂפָתַי הָיָה | mōṣāʾ s̆əp̄āṯay hāyâ} ‘what issued from my lips was’ focuses on verbal accountability, and the prepositional phrase nokhach panekha {נֹכַח פָּנֶיךָ | nôḵaḥ pāneḵā} ‘before Your face’ underscores transparency before God. The structure mirrors Hebrew word order to preserve Jeremiah’s emphasis on integrity.

In context — Jeremiah 17:16

But as for me, I did not hasten away from shepherding to follow You , and I did not desire the woeful day; You know it—whatever issued from my lips was before Your face .
